A Call To Action... Or Something Like That

Did I get your attention? Well, if you haven't heard already, Laura of Laura's Review Bookshelf (http://laurasreviewbookshelf.blogspot.com/) is recruiting new followers for her blog. Really, go look at it! She has a lot of reviews, especially for upcoming books, and has a lot of contests... and yes, this post is contest related. Two people who promote her blog and two people sent there will get the book of their choice!So go over to the blog and say that Paradox referred you! ---> http://laurasreviewbookshelf.blogspot.com/2009/02/plea-and-you-get-prize.htmlAnd to make this sound even better... If you go to Laura's blog and leave a message saying I referred you, and then come back here and say you did it, you will get an entry in a sort of contest. This is completely unrelated to the book of choice contest. But after you leave a message at her blog and come back to say you did it, you can also leave the title of a book you'd like me to use in my next fan art book cover! It can be any book I didn't already post in my fan art book cover post. When Laura posts her winners I will use a randomizer to pick a "winner" from among the comments here and make a fan art book cover for the book suggested.I hope I didn't confuse you.*Paradox*

Want Me To Review A Book?

To Authors or Publicists:

If you are interested in having me review a book, it's very likely that I will accept your request. I will accept books from large and small publishers, and self-published books. I will read ARCs or books that have already been released. I will read e-books, but I prefer to read printed copies of books.

But that doesn't mean I will accept every request I get. Sometimes I am busy with other things, simply have enough books to review, or the book is not what I am willing to read. This blog is devoted to certain genres. I will mostly be reviewing sf/fantasy/supernatural/speculative fiction, almost all of which will be YA or Middle Grade. If the book doesn't fit that description, there is less of a chance that I will be willing to review it. But if it is realistic YA, that will probably be fine. I will probably not review Christian non-fiction or fiction, adult non-fiction, adult romances, or picture books.

Just because I agree to review a book does not necessarily mean everything I say in a review will be praise. I will try to mention what is good about the book, but I will be writing my own opinion about what I read, including what I didn't like.
